Circuit Description
The 1-2, 3-4 shift solenoid (1-2, 3-4 SS) valve controls transmission fluid pressure acting on the 1-2 and 3-4 shift valves to position the valves for the appropriate gear. The 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve located on the control valve body. A fused circuit supplies ignition voltage to the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve. The PCM commands the solenoid ON or OFF by switching the ground path. When the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is commanded ON, the PCM senses low voltage. When the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve is commanded OFF, the PCM senses high voltage. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio .
If the PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to power in the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is 9-18 volts. |
| • | The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds and not in fuel shut off. |
| • | The PCM has commanded the 1-2, 3-4 SS valve ON and OFF. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0753 sets when one of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:
Condition 1
The PCM commands the solenoid ON and voltage feedback remains high (B+).
Condition 2
The PCM commands the solenoid OFF, and the voltage feedback remains low (0 volts).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM inhibits TCC. |
| • | The PCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts when the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph). |
| • | The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records. |
| • | The PCM stores DTC P0753 in PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
Ensure the wiring harness is not stretched too tightly or other components are pressing on the A/T inline 20-way connector body. Also inspect for proper clearance to any other components and wiring. Refer to Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 3.1L or Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 3.8L.
Test Description
